This book provides several techniques to help move from a top-down approach to management to a new style of "responsive organization" based on flexible roles, shared authority, and continuous learning and change.

Actions to increase effectiveness of schools in a rapidly changing world

To stay relevant and impactful, organizations from the military to government agencies to businesses must constantly evolve. Organizations that cling to rigid structures designed for less dynamic times are stuck in routines that don't get results.  Instead of withstanding a structure built for the industrial age, how can we empower our schools to be nimble and equipped to prepare their students for this new world?

The NEW School Rules expands cutting-edge organizational and management strategies into an operating system for responsive schools. These principles and practices provide the framework for transitioning rigid, slow-moving institutions into environments of continuous innovation.

• 6 simple rules create a unified vision of responsiveness among educators
  
• Real life case studies illustrate responsive techniques implemented in a variety of educational demographics
  
• 15 experiments guide school and district leaders toward increased responsiveness in their faculty and staff
